Chapter 734: Chapter 726: World Gate of Ten Thousand Realms
Twilight approached.
After An Xin returned, Gu An ceased instructing Shangguan Xian’er in her Divine Skills and sent her away.
Gu An and An Xin stood shoulder to shoulder at the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance. An Xin softly said, “Master, that Yuan Luo will probably become a great calamity for the world. Although I expelled him, I could feel his strength and hatred. He harbors an endless supply of terrifying power within him.”
“What do you wish your master to do, kill him?” Gu An retorted.
Gu An had witnessed the battle between Yuan Luo and An Xin. If not for Yuan Luo borrowing the origin power, he would have been no match for An Xin.
Defeated this time, Yuan Luo would be deeply agitated and continuously awaken the Origin Consciousness until he became a true Chaos Grudge Luo.
Yuan Luo’s life had its share of sins, yet which Immortal Cultivator’s hands are not stained with blood? He also had his own merits. Whether he is good or bad depends on the perspective.
An Xin shook her head and said, “Why would I think like that? How could I outright ask you to kill him? What I want is for you to capture him. I will discipline him and help him let go of his obsessions. I fear he will drag the Qiankun Sect into an abyss of eternal damnation.”
She knew very well the depths of the waters in the Celestial Spirit Great World. If things went too far, it wouldn’t just be Gu An; even the Celestial Gods could intervene, and Yuan Luo wouldn’t be able to contend with them.
Yuan Luo sought to dominate the world with extreme methods and had a fierce and combative style. He did not tolerate any betrayal, causing the Qiankun Sect disciples to be unable to leave the sect. If they tried to flee, they would be pursued and killed. Over time, An Xin felt the consequences would be dire.
She had coexisted with the Qiankun Sect for millions of years and had developed feelings for it. She didn’t want the Qiankun Sect to meet a tragic end. Subduing Yuan Luo could bring a dignified close to the sect, and perhaps, with a new Sect Hierarch, the Qiankun Sect could continue its legacy.
“No need for that. These trials are part of the Qiankun Sect’s fate. They have received too much of our protection and do not need to be sheltered through to the end. Instead, you should think about how to treat the continent’s all living beings in the future.”
Gu An replied, quietly choosing to activate the Life Span Dojo.
[Please select the range of your Dojo to be established]
A prompt appeared, and Gu An expanded his mind to cover the entire Nine Spirit Continent.
[100,000,000,000 years of life span is required. Do you wish to continue?]
A hundred billion years of life span!
Previously, establishing the Dojo required five billion years of life span. The Nine Spirit Continent’s area was over two hundred times larger than the current Dojo. To Gu An, this cost was worth it.
He chose to continue without hesitation.
In an instant, nature’s spiritual energy suddenly halted. An Xin noticed this and swallowed her prepared words, frowning as she looked around.
This was the Dojo. How could something unexpected happen?
An Xin looked at Gu An, who was smiling, and her anxiety completely eased.
“Master, what is going on?” An Xin curiously asked.
Gu An smiled and said, “I have expanded the Dojo to cover the entire continent. In the future, your range of free movement will be even greater.”
An Xin pursued, “Does this mean that all living beings on the continent will be able to enjoy the spiritual energy and Dao Intent of the Dojo?”
Gu An had previously mentioned he would expand the Dojo. At that time, she thought it was just an expansion of the range and didn’t expect the Dao Intent and dense spiritual energy to extend as well.
Such immense merit, An Xin could already imagine the future prosperity of the Nine Spirit Continent.
She even began to envision the glory of Wushi’s expansion. The current Wushi had too few people.
The spiritual energy of nature only halted for a few brief moments. Soon, the earth began to tremble, and vast spiritual energy gushed forth from deep underground, causing all living beings on the continent to feel tense. Even many Great Cultivators residing in seclusion in the mountains were alarmed and fled.
The seas at the edge of the continent began to fog up, gradually shrouding the continent. The twilight became even more melancholic.
…
Years flew by, and two hundred thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Nine Spirit Continent had now become a mysterious legend. Over the long years, some sects had tried to explore it, but were repelled by a mysterious force. Occasionally, some cultivators inadvertently intruded but were soon escorted out. These experiences, however, became unforgettable for them and birthed numerous legends about the Wushishi Continent, symbolizing hope and representing a paradise, even suggesting the meaning of an Immortal Land.
Crossing the vast fog over the ocean and entering the Nine Spirit Continent, the magnificent landscape of mountains and rivers unfolded like a painting, with demon birds soaring in the sky. Everywhere one looked, cultivators could be seen flying.
Majestic and bustling cities were scattered across the continent, each region forming its own world.
Yet, the original area of the Daoist Field of the Beginningless remained a forbidden ground where other beings were not permitted to trespass.
In the courtyard.
Gu An stood in front of the Artifact Refining Cauldron, manipulating the Taiqing True Fire. Shen Zhen sat nearby, practicing her skills, while An Xin stood behind Gu An, reporting the current situation.
“The number of living beings is increasing. At this rate, trouble will eventually arise. We can’t simply expel some of them, as they are all related.” An Xin spoke softly, frowning slightly.
The Human World must not be without a ruler. The Emperor of the Nine Spirit Continent would offer tribute to the Beginningless. Currently, the third generation disciple An Zizai was responsible for liaising with imperial authority. An Zizai’s cave mansion was established in the Imperial City to serve as a warning to the imperial power. Thus, despite the passing of two hundred thousand years, the Nine Spirit Continent had not fallen into chaos.
Gu An replied, “No need to worry. In a few days, I will establish the World Gate, allowing them to freely travel and explore. Their life and death will be their own responsibility.”
“The World Gate? Can it connect to the myriad worlds?” An Xin asked curiously.
“Yes, it is a Dao Treasure. I will use destiny as the screening criterion to prevent external beings from infiltrating through this gate.” Gu An’s lips curved upward. The World Gate was his proudest creation in recent years. It could connect to the Three Thousand Great Worlds and even some special realms. It was also a formidable Dao Treasure, almost impossible for even a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal to destroy.
“Master, aren’t you afraid of exposing the Beginningless?” An Xin asked with a smile.
“Since when has your master ever feared?”
Gu An responded with a hard tone. Now, he indeed had some confidence. Moreover, the Beginningless had no intention or capability of overthrowing the Celestial Court. What was there to fear?
The master and disciple chatted for a while, then An Xin went to summon the third generation disciples to give a lecture.
Having become the Primordial Dao Emperor and as the second generation disciple, she always kept a close watch on the cultivation progress of the third generation disciples. She hoped that every disciple would possess great strength and not disgrace the Wushi or their master.
After An Xin left, Shen Zhen opened her eyes and looked at Gu An. “Although I have not yet reached the level of Primordial Dao Emperor, I am seeing more and more of the scenes regarding that disaster.”
She was referring to the great contention for the Son of Heaven, which was no secret within the Wushi.
“Oh? What scenes have you seen this time?” Gu An casually asked.
He could also see the cause and effect of the great contention for the Son of Heaven, with the figures of numerous Immortal Gods already appearing in his vision.
Zhang Buku, Tian Hao, and Zhu Xi would all be involved, seizing the opportunity to rise during this catastrophe.
